OREGON CITY -- The Oregon City High School Class of 1942 recently held its 70th class reunion at the Best Western Rivershore Hotel in Oregon City.

Richard Knudson and Vera (Radosevich) Hollowell organized the event.

Agnes (Hoff) Radell came the farthest for the reunion, from San Ramon, Calif. Radell and Richard Knudson (right) grew up in Clarkes, and one snowy morning Richard showed up on his horse to give Agnes a ride to school. She's afraid of horses, but it beat walking in the snow! Linda Butler

Fourteen classmates attended from the original graduating class of about 200. There are about 25 living classmates that can be accounted for.
